Is it like this every year?

Needs citation.

Seriously. Not Garrison. Yes Walker-Jones, yes Noyes, yes Bunker Hill. Yes Langley, because the self-contained cassrooms are much more at-risk and that makes it stay Title I even as the preschool gentrifies.

Do you even know how DCPS calculates Title I status for schools? DCPS uses CEP to determine Title I status. Every school except Ludlow Taylor and Van Ness is above 90% for CEP. Ludlow is at 40% and Van Ness is at 35.5%.

Things like the curriculum are covered by the Head Start grant. The 17 schools that switched to Creative Curriculum this year had all of their curriculum materials covered by Head Start. SWW at Francis Stevens was the only schools that wasn’t covered since they are no longer Title I and don’t offer Head Start.

Is curriculum really that expensive? What else, supplies, maybe new furniture once in a while? I feel like if they cut Head Start, a lot of schools would find a way to cover it through PTA.

Why on earth would you think it is less?? How much would you pay for private Prk?? Dcps has all of those costs.

My understanding is DC government and dcps have promised to keep funding PrK even if Head Start goes away. Month we're their mouths are Idk. But supposedly they are going to keep it running. I am guessing that means a tax hike and less campuses. Also, might depend on the next national elections.

Neither VN nor LT are T1 anymore.

Ludlow Taylor is still Title I for this current school year. Van Ness was able to qualify to be a Title I targeted assistance school this year.

I didn't realize a school could lose its community eligibility provision eligibility and still be Title I. I had (obviously mistakenly) thought those were the same thing. Can someone explain how a school qualifies for T1 then? Is it just a slightly higher threshhold of the same thing or is it a different metric entirely?

There are two kinds of Title I programs: Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance.

A school is eligible to become a Title I Schoolwide Program if 40% or more of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Eligible schools are permitted to use Title I, Part A funds in combination with state and local resources and other federal education program funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school to raise the academic achievement of all students.

A school is eligible to become a Title I Targeted Assistance Program if between 35-40% of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The term “targeted assistance” means that the services are provided to a select group of children—those identified as failing, or most at risk of failing, rather than for overall school improvement.

Got it, thanks. So per the poster above, L-T is currently at 40% and VN is currently at 35.5%, so it's incredibly likely L-T is about to lose T1 status (and become a targeted assistance program) and VN is about to lose T1 targeted status?

K is a big year for moves, but, yes, people will continue to lottery out every year, and most of your high SES cohort will be gone by 5th when everyone left lotteries for Latin and Basis. I remember being so upset returning for PK4 to find so many of DS's friends had moved on. Then we left the next year for an immersion charter where the classes were pretty stable until 5th.

Adding to this, there's a lot of displeasure on the Council with how DCPS is allowing (encouraging?) individual schools tp spend funds earmarked for at-risk students.

So are FARM percentages publicized anywhere for CEP schools in DCPS?

At this point, LT will probably not even qualify for targeted assistance for SY 2020-2021. LT will probably only have a CEP rate of 33-35%. Van Ness probably won’t qualify for targeted assistance next year.
